Dancehall star Tommy Lee Sparta was shook by his Trinidadian fans over the weekend when only 9 people showed up for his concert.

The “Uncle Demon” deejay was the headlining act on the concert slatted for Guaracara Park in Pointe-a-Pierre, Trinidad on Saturday March 23rd.

However, by approximately 2 a.m. promoters “Sparta The Concert” called off the show while staring at an empty venue. The handful of patrons who paid to see the deejay was refunded their admission.

Sources close to the promoters told Urban Islandz this morning that they are very disappointed and will not be booking Tommy Lee for another show.

“We are very disappointed because we expected a huge turn out and invested heavily in getting the venue up to scratch,” the source said. “We probably will not be booking this artist for another show because clearly its all just a hype.”

So what..evil music is all over the globe. Dancehall, Reggae does not equal Rastafari. nor the other way round. Rasta can be manifest in all creativity all works.. and shall the anti-thesis. Nah worry if him pack a house..evil men do all the time. Blessed that this one did not.

More time evil comes in more appealing packages, even the devil in the Bible is an "angel of light". Reggae has always been a genre of stark contradictions focused on the same things the devil perpetuates, greed, lust, violence. People are just shocked when 1's use it in such a direct way.

Dubguy, he might have skills, but he still sucks in my book.. They have a name for dudes like him.. Something like a douche

That's what I use to think until I met him....About 5 or so years ago I was asked to help with some spinal health care problems (I'm a Doctor of Chiropractic) for Tommy Lee and his tour manager at their hotel as they passed thru Seattle for a Motley Crue thing . At first I said no, cuz I had thought he was a "douche". I then remembered that I help everyone, douche or not at my practice so I went and helped them out. He was very respectful and "normal". After I checked out their spines, he invited me to stay and hang out for a bit. He asked me about my family, where I was from, how I got into my profession, and we had a really great conversation. Funny part was when he asked if I was going on any vacations this summer and I said that I was about to leave for this thing called Reggae On The River (think it was the last year). He said "is that the reggae festival on the Eel river in Humboldt? He had just heard about it a month or so before and had been checking it out online....lol

The experience was a lot different than I thought it would be. I have met many famous rasta JA stars that treated me with much less respect. The reality is you really don't know much about these stars, and what we see on TV, stage, videos some times are nothing like the real ting....

I've been to a perfect giddimani show with about 12 people total in the place!! Had to do with horrible promotion tho! I didn't hear about it till hours before and my friend that told me about it couldn't even make it cuz his ride situation .. Giddimani still performed.. A pretty short and sad set but it was obvious why..

I saw Johnny Clarke play to about 10 people at Moe's Alley a few years back. By the end of the show he was playing to two people on the dancefloor, myself included. Big up Mr. Clarke, doing it nice for me on a quiet Sunday night.

Saw Lutan Fyah about a year ago here in Durham at a very small spot....about 40 people or so. Luckily found out about the show the day before. I was speaking to him before the show and he said that he puts the same passion into every show, whether it be 50 or 5000. He played for over an hour and was very into it, even though you could tell he wasn't that familiar with the backing band too. A true humble artist.

Was one of my favorites for many years, but that show really put him at the top of my list.

SpliffP and I went to 19 Broadway to see Clinton Fearon and the Boogie Brown Band circa 2001 or 2002. The band started up right after our group of 4 walked in. They played two full sets of music for maybe 10-15 people. It was only my second time seeing him (first was SNWMF 2000) and the show was great. Clinton chatted us up between sets as well.

Regarding Tommy Lee(he of rock, not current JA dancehall), having observed him during an in-store meet & greet on the day of his solo LP release, I found him a genial and good natured rock musician, who wore a grin and showed sincere appreciation for his fan base(which, as I pointed out to my staff, included the cream of my region's professional lap-dancers).

Actually, you know who he reminded me of?? That character in the male enhancement ads who (as Lee does) has that big as* grin going on, as his wife stands in the background looking transcendentally post-coital.
